"Appeal for sightings of missing woman, Joan
Gringley"
Waikato Police are looking for 68-year-old
Joan Gringley who has been reported missing from her rest
home in Hamilton.
Miss Gringley was last seen on Tuesday
11 October, 2016, when she told staff she was going out and
would return on 13 or 14 October. She has not been seen
since and may have travelled outside of Hamilton and the
wider Waikato District.
It is not uncommon for the
68-year-old to return later than expected, but she has never
been gone this long before and Police are concerned for her
safety.
Miss Gringley is European, about 168cm tall and of
stocky build.
It is not known what she was wearing at the
time of her disappearance, but her outfits usually include a
bonnet or headscarf.
Anyone who knows where Miss Gringley
is, or believes they may have seen her, is asked to contact
Hamilton Police on 07 858 6200.
Alternatively, you can
provide information anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555
111.

Five years on from the mosque shootings, this is one of the cultural headwinds that the Muslim community has to battle against. Whatever messages of tolerance and inclusion are offered in daylight, much of our culture tends to be hostile to Islam when we’re sitting in the dark, with popcorn. Any number of movie examples come to mind, beginning with Rudolf Valentino’s role (over a century ago) as the romantic Arab hero in The Sheik... More
